KIA Tigers Kim Do-hyun's first win failed again. The coach also couldn't hide his regret.

Kim Do-hyun, who joined the rotation by winning the 5th starting pitcher competition this season, is showing the most stable pitching among KIA domestic starting pitchers. Got three quality starts in five appearances, no wins yet. Even though he pitched three times for two runs in six innings, he failed to connect with the starting win. On the contrary, there are two defeats alone.

Kim Do-hyun missed another chance on the 23rd. He started in an away game against the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu, but collapsed with 10 hits (one home run), two strikeouts, one walk and six runs in five ⅔ innings.




Completely failed to lock down the opponent's top batting order. After allowing the first batter Kim Ji-chan to hit in the bottom of the first inning, he allowed the right to score too easily with a balk, and then gave up the first run with two consecutive outfield flies.

In the bottom of the second inning, Kim Young-woong hit a two-run home run, followed by a good two-out in the bottom of the fourth inning, and collapsed by allowing consecutive timely hits to the top hitters. As KIA lost 2-7, Kim Do-hyun recorded his second loss of the season.

KIA manager Lee Bum-ho, who met ahead of the match against Samsung on the 24th, the next day, said "It was a waste because he caught 2S well and got hit." Yesterday, he caught the leadoff batters with a 2S and sent them out five times. I think there was something urgentHe gave "6 points, of which 3-4 points are not necessary. You have to save those things. It was such a waste of pitching."




It was encouraging to pitch with two outs in the sixth inning even when there were many runs. It was a full-fledged pitch that gave a glimpse of Kim Do-hyun's responsibility as a starting pitcher.

Director Lee Bum-ho also said, `You learn by doing this. He must have felt something. I just gave him too many points that he didn't have to give, but he had good pitching yesterday and he threw as well as he wanted to"You need something like that to grow." I will be a better pitcher."

Kim Do-hyun's ERA for the season, which was 1.93 since taking the mound against Samsung, soared to 3.41. A game of 10 hits and 6 runs that I felt a lot. It was a mound where Kim Do-hyun could learn a lot of lessons to grow as a starting pitcher.
